Sarah Tuffs of Huddersfield was diagnosed with the allergy two years ago and her employer has responded by making sure there is no latex in the workplace at all.
However, it is more difficult to control her allergy elsewhere, as she doesn't even have to touch a balloon in order to suffer a reaction.
'If I'm on a bus and a child gets on with a balloon, I have to get off,' she told the Huddersfield Examiner.
Ms Tuffs also encountered problems at her local Chinese New Year celebrations and even has to avoid balloons in the supermarket.
The 54-year-old grandmother could potentially benefit from wearing an allergy alert bracelet.
This would ensure that if she does suffer an allergic reaction or needs any kind of emergency care, medics would know about her underlying health issues.
Common allergens include pollen, animals, insects, certain chemicals and medicines, as well as foods such as nuts and dairy products.
